Proverbs 26:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 The sluggard buries a hand in the dish,
too weary to lift it to the mouth.(A)
16 In their own eyes sluggards are wiser
than seven who answer with good judgment.
17 Whoever meddles in the quarrel of another
is one who grabs a passing dog by the ears.
